A METHOD FOR THE OBJECTIVE STUDY OF TOOL‐USING BEHAVIOR [PDF]
Key pecking for food was shaped in four crows within a conventional operant‐conditioning test chamber. When pecking stabilized, a metal screen with openings 2.5 cm high by 1.0 cm wide, was placed over the response key, so that the crow could still see but could no longer peck the key.
